Dead To Me, 'Little Brother': Free MP3 of the Day

They're not the first to combine punk and reggae, yet with bands like Sublime long gone, it's refreshing to hear this hybrid sound again. Their latest single, "Dead to Me," takes its listener on a roller coaster of moods from chill to aggressive.

In the beginning

The fantastical, pompous and insanely intricate excesses of prog rock are commonly held to have lit the fuse for the musical revolution of the mid-Seventies. But Genesis survived punk's scorched-earth policy and, in the intervening decades, have shifted 150million albums. Last year, they played to 1.4million fans at 47 gigs across Europe and North America.

Sage Business Works, Epicor, FCC and White Spaces

The news as of the second cup of coffee this morning, and the music is Hayes Carll's honky-tonky rock album "Trouble In Mind," with a nifty laid-back version of The Ramones' punk version of Tom Waits' classic "I Don't Wanna Grow Up." If this guy had moved to Austin instead of coming up through the Little Rock scene, he'd probably be bigger today:

CBGB's sticker-decorated urinal is already museum-worthy, and this week more detritus from the era of the Ramones and the Clash hurtled its way into high culture, when Christie's hosted its first auction devoted to punk memorabilia. Vivienne Westwood bondage pants, photographs of Lou Reed and Blondie and badges for the Buzzcocks went up for bid at the decidedly nonpunk hour of 10 a.m. With the economy crashing, would anyone really pay thousands of dollars for Black Flag fliers?

Perhaps it was the punk-inspired 'do and makeup or the influence of this new girl Agnes--whatever it is, this new Jenny is a lot more interesting. Her separation from Eleanor was a long time coming. Jenny's green dress was the star of Eleanor's fashion show, so it was only a matter of time before the more senior designer realized she could exploit her star intern.

REVIEW | Hack Attack: Darren Lynn Bousman's "Repo! The Genetic Opera"

A helpful shortcut for negotiating the heaps of texts in this modern world: all attempts to give something familiar or antique a self-consciously edgy, gritty makeover can be, de facto, written off as terrible. Reassuring American songbook standards ("Over the Rainbow," "What a Wonderful World," etc.) performed in breakneck pop-punk style? Terrible. Movies set in centuries past where actual rules of comport are ignored and everyone acts like frisky undergraduates with ruffled collars? Terrible. Steampunk? Terrible, terrible, terrible.
